Local data: official statistics on affordability, demographics, education and family, health and elderly, jobs and economy, mobility and connectivity and safety and community (local or regional figures, sources on every place page) plus population and geography.

A greater area here means every municipality whose nearest big-city core is Oslo, within a radius that grows with the size of the city (20 to 60 km). It is a practical commuting belt, not an official region.
